Galazio Sunset Villas - Villa Ortansia

Description from the owner

Villa Galazio Sunset

The Villa Galazio Sunset is set in quiet, idyllic surroundings among olive trees, only a five minute drive away from the captivating town of Gaios, the capital of Paxos, and 250m after the village towards the western coast of the island.

The three-level apartment complex (280sq.m) is set in its own private grounds(2000sq.m.) surrounded by stone walls. Situated above each other, the apartments offer individual accommodation with the benefit of the two shared pools. Bougainvillea Apartment (50sq.m) is at ground level, Villa Ortansia (115sq.m.) is on the second level and Villa Irida (115sq.m.) is on the third level.

The two pools, one at each end of the garden (350sq.m.) which is laid in local stone, are positioned in such a way to provide guests with the privacy they wish. Scattered around the garden are stone built flower beds with fragrant roses, brightly colorful hibiscus, bougainvilleas and citrus trees providing natural shade and impressive summer colors.
The complex “Villa Galazio Sunset” is recommended for couples wishing a relaxing, romantic holiday away from prying eyes. The fact that there is no other accommodation within a 200-meter radius of the property ensures privacy. It is also an ideal choice of accommodation for families as they don’t have to worry about their children’s entertainment and safety, since the village road leads up to the private parking area and there are no passing cars. Each pool has its own umbrellas, sunbeds as well as a stone built BBQ and stone table. The garden is softly lit in the evening, allowing guests either to enjoy a dinner cooked on the BBQ or to relax on the sunbeds under the starry summer sky.

Additional Location Information

1500 m. away from Gaios, the capital of the island and heading uphill through olive groves lies Velianitatika one of the oldest villages in Paxos on the west side of the island, dotted with old manors, churches, paved paths and unspoiled base and beaches of incomparable beauty on the coast.

Villa Galazio Sunset is located 250 m. outside the village in peaceful tranquil surroundings. It was named after the most beautiful beach, Galazio, on the west coast of Paxos as well as the spectacular sunset you can watch either over a cocktail on the veranda or relaxing next to one of the two pools of the villa. The road leads to the villa’s private car park and as the closest neighbor is about 200 m. before you get to the villa, the location is ideal for those wanting to relax and escape from the traffic noise.
A must for those wanting the experience of a lifetime is a five minute walk to the edge of the western side late in the afternoon to view Galazio beach, the steep cliffs as well as the boundless sea and sky. The stunning sunset, a blaze of blue and red is a memorable experience.
Nearby, either a two minute drive or a ten minute walk, lies the secluded Avlaki beach in a location where one would think that the Greek god of the sea, Poseidon, with a mighty blow of his trident, struck the rocks revealing the pebbly beach. The beach allows you to try your skills in the water discovering a whole new world, scuba-diving / snorkeling!
Just opposite the road the leads to Avlaki and following the stone-build path in front of you lies the cistern “Sterna Eliniki”, dating from the Venetian period. The cistern is build on the edge of the natural rock formation and is of circular shape. Water is still collected today from the paved surface that slopes towards the center. During the war, it was used to provide ships with drinkable water. The cistern’s construction which is considered a true word of art and the superb views will impress you.
